Wire harness including connector having vacant cavity

Abstract

A wire harness according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a first wire harness that includes a first electric wire, a first shielding member, and a first connector; a second wire harness that includes a second electric wire, a second shielding member, and a second connector; and a connection member that electrically connects a drain wire of the first shielding member and a drain wire of the second shielding member to each other. A drain wire drawn out from an end portion of the first shielding member on the first connector side is grounded. A drain wire drawn out from an end portion of the second shielding member on the second connector side is inserted into a vacant cavity of the second connector.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A wire harness comprising:
 an electric wire; 
 a connector that is connected to one end portion of the electric wire; 
 a shielding member having a tubular shape and configured to cover the electric wire; and 
 a drain wire having electrical continuity with the shielding member and drawn out from an end portion of the shielding member on a side of the connector, 
 wherein the drain wire is inserted into a vacant cavity of the connector in which no connection terminal is provided. 
 
     
     
       2. A wire harness comprising:
 a first wire harness that includes a first electric wire, a first shielding member having a tubular shape and configured to cover the first electric wire, a pair of drain wires that are respectively drawn out from two end portions in a longitudinal direction of the first shielding member, and a first connector that is provided at one end portion of the first electric wire; 
 a second wire harness that includes a second electric wire, a second shielding member having a tubular shape and configured to cover the second electric wire, a pair of drain wires that are respectively drawn out from two end portions in a longitudinal direction of the second shielding member, and a second connector that is provided at one end portion of the second electric wire; and 
 a connection member electrically connecting one of the pair of drain wires of the first wire harness that is drawn out from the end portion of the first shielding member on an opposite side to the first connector, and one of the pair of drain wires of the second wire harness that is drawn out from the end portion of the second shielding member on an opposite side to the second connector, 
 wherein a remaining one of the pair of drain wires of the first wire harness that is drawn out from the end portion of the first shielding member on the first connector side is grounded, and 
 a remaining one of the pair of drain wires of the second wire harness that is drawn out from the end portion of the second shielding member on the second connector side is inserted into a vacant cavity of the second connector. 
 
     
     
       3. The wire harness according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein, among the pair of drain wires of the first wire harness, the remaining one of the pair of drain wires of the first wire harness is connected to the first connector. 
 
     
     
       4. The wire harness according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the connection member is a splice part. 
 
     
     
       5. The wire harness according to  claim 2 , comprising:
 a third wire harness that includes a third electric wire, a third shielding member having a tubular shape and configured to cover the third electric wire, a pair of drain wires that are respectively drawn out from two end portions in a longitudinal direction of the third shielding member, and a third connector that is provided at one end portion of the third electric wire, 
 wherein one of the pair of drain wires of the third wire harness, which is drawn out from the end portion of the third shielding member on an opposite side to the third connector, is electrically connected to the first shielding member and the second shielding member via the connection member, and 
 a remaining one of the pair of drain wires of the third wire harness that is drawn out from the end portion of the third shielding member on the third connector side is inserted into a vacant cavity separate from the vacant cavity of the second connector.
